Singles, The (Limited Edition) [Digipak] - Basement Jaxx

Advantages: Brilliant selection of fantastic Basement Jaxx-ness!
Disadvantages: Limited Edition disc not that good!

I truly love Basement Jaxx and this album puts together all the best bits! Even some of those that you maybe haven't heard except for a few clips! Basement Jaxx have brought out some great albums over the past and this combines all the best bits as well as those that you maybe haven't heard of. They have a original unique sound that is a bit weird but has loads of different of sounds mixed in. Its a bit like Marmite - love it or hate it! A reat ...
...stuff!

Advantages: Excellent songs
Disadvantages: Not full versions

My personal favourite is the dark and funky 'Rendez-Vu', whereas the weakest link is possibly 'Jump N Shout' or ...
